The Forest in a Dream

When life is hectic with its ups and downs

I’d like to take a trip out of town

To visit the forest in my dreams

And lay down beside the gentle stream

There all is quiet, peaceful and serene

Filled with wonders yet unseen

Where the only sound in the air

Is the gentle water flowing without a care

Around me are giants

Growing above the moss

And when the wind blows

Their leaves they gladly toss

There is a misty peace

Lingering in the air

And when the sun shines through the trees

Its glow it gladly shares

There I feel content

And my burdens I gladly shed

And deeper into the forest I go

Wherever I am led

I will explore and see

A great many things

Then finally by the stream

I will awake from my dream
